BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk), a member of the Tec family ofnon-receptor tyrosine kinases, is a key signaling enzyme expressed inall hematopoietic cells types except T lymphocytes and natural killercells. Btk plays an essential role in the B-cell signaling pathwaylinking cell surface B-cell receptor (BCR) stimulation to downstreamintracellular responses.

Btk is a key regulator of B-cell development, activation, signaling, andsurvival. In addition, Btk plays a role in a number of otherhematopoetic cell signaling pathways, e.g., Toll like receptor (TLR) andcytokine receptor-mediated TNF-α production in macrophages, IgE receptor(FcepsilonRI) signaling in Mast cells, inhibition of Fas/APO-1 apoptoticsignaling in B-lineage lymphoid cells, and collagen-stimulated plateletaggregation.

B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (BCLDs) are neoplasms of the bloodand encompass, inter alia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, andleukemia. BCLDs can originate either in the lymphatic tissues (as in thecase of lymphoma) or in the bone marrow (as in the case of leukemia andmyeloma), and they all are involved with the uncontrolled growth oflymphocytes or white blood cells. There are many subtypes of BCLD, e.g.,chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Thedisease course and treatment of BCLD is dependent on the BCLD subtype;however, even within each subtype the clinical presentation, morphologicappearance, and response to therapy is heterogeneous.

Malignant lymphomas are neoplastic transformations of cells that residepredominantly within lymphoid tissues. Two groups of malignant lymphomasare Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Both types oflymphomas infiltrate reticuloendothelial tissues. However, they differin the neoplastic cell of origin, site of disease, presence of systemicsymptoms, and response to treatment (Freedman et al., “Non-Hodgkin'sLymphomas” Chapter 134, Cancer Medicine, (an approved publication of theAmerican Cancer Society, B.C. Decker Inc., Hamilton, Ontario, 2003).

Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas

Disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, is a method for treating anon-Hodgkin's lymphoma in an individual in need thereof, comprising:administering to the individual an amount of Compound 1.

Further disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, is a method fortreating relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in an individualin need thereof, comprising: administering to the individual atherapeutically-effective amount of Compound 1. In some embodiments, thenon-Hodgkin's lymphoma is relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-celllymphoma (DLBCL), relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma, relapsedor refractory follicular lymphoma, or relapsed or refractory CLL.

Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) are a diverse group of malignancies that arepredominately of B-cell origin. NHL may develop in any organs associatedwith lymphatic system such as spleen, lymph nodes or tonsils and canoccur at any age. NHL is often marked by enlarged lymph nodes, fever,and weight loss. NHL is classified as either B-cell or T-cell NHL.Lymphomas related to lymphoproliferative disorders following bone marrowor stem cell transplantation are usually B-cell NHL. In the WorkingFormulation classification scheme, NHL has been divided into low-,intermediate-, and high-grade categories by virtue of their naturalhistories (see “The Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Pathologic ClassificationProject,” Cancer 49(1982):2112-2135). The low-grade lymphomas areindolent, with a median survival of 5 to 10 years (Horning and Rosenberg(1984) N. Engl. J. Med. 311:1471-1475). Although chemotherapy can induceremissions in the majority of indolent lymphomas, cures are rare andmost patients eventually relapse, requiring further therapy. Theintermediate- and high-grade lymphomas are more aggressive tumors, butthey have a greater chance for cure with chemotherapy. However, asignificant proportion of these patients will relapse and requirefurther treatment.

A non-limiting list of the B-cell NHL includes Burkitt's lymphoma (e.g.,Endemic Burkitt's Lymphoma and Sporadic Burkitt's Lymphoma), CutaneousB-Cell Lymphoma, Cutaneous Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL), Diffuse LargeCell Lymphoma (DLBCL), Diffuse Mixed Small and Large Cell Lympoma,Diffuse Small Cleaved Cell, Diffuse Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma,Extranodal Marginal Zone B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma,Follicular Small Cleaved Cell (Grade 1), Follicular Mixed Small Cleavedand Large Cell (Grade 2), Follicular Large Cell (Grade 3), IntravascularLarge B-Cell Lymphoma, Intravascular Lymphomatosis, Large CellImmunoblastic Lymphoma, Large Cell Lymphoma (LCL), LymphoblasticLymphoma, MALT Lymphoma, Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL), immunoblastic largecell lymphoma, precursor B-lymphoblastic lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma,chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL),extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma-mucosa-associated lymphoidtissue (MALT) lymphoma, Mediastinal Large B-Cell Lymphoma, nodalmarginal zone B-cell lymphoma, splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma,primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, lymphoplasmocytic lymphoma, hairycell leukemia, Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia, and primary centralnervous system (CNS) lymphoma. Additional non-Hodgkin's lymphomas arecontemplated within the scope of the present invention and apparent tothose of ordinary skill in the art.

DLBCL

Disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, is a method for treating aDLCBL in an individual in need thereof, comprising: administering to theindividual an amount of Compound 1. Further disclosed herein, in certainembodiments, is a method for treating relapsed or refractory DLCBL in anindividual in need thereof, comprising: administering to the individuala therapeutically-effective amount of Compound 1.

As used herein, the term “Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)” refersto a neoplasm of the germinal center B lymphocytes with a diffuse growthpattern and a high-intermediate proliferation index. DLBCLs representapproximately 30% of all lymphomas and may present with severalmorphological variants including the centroblastic, immunoblastic,T-cell/histiocyte rich, anaplastic and plasmoblastic subtypes. Genetictests have shown that there are different subtypes of DLBCL. Thesesubtypes seem to have different outlooks (prognoses) and responses totreatment. DLBCL can affect any age group but occurs mostly in olderpeople (the average age is mid-60s).

Disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, is a method for treatingdiffuse large B-cell lymphoma, activated B cell-like subtype(ABC-DLBCL), in an individual in need thereof, comprising: administeringto the individual an irreversible Btk inhibitor in an amount from 300mg/day up to, and including, 1000 mg/day. The ABC subtype of diffuselarge B-cell lymphoma (ABC-DLBCL) is thought to arise from post germinalcenter B cells that are arrested during plasmatic differentiation. TheABC subtype of DLBCL (ABC-DLBCL) accounts for approximately 30% totalDLBCL diagnoses. It is considered the least curable of the DLBCLmolecular subtypes and, as such, patients diagnosed with the ABC-DLBCLtypically display significantly reduced survival rates compared withindividuals with other types of DLCBL. ABC-DLBCL is most commonlyassociated with chromosomal translocations deregulating the germinalcenter master regulator BCL6 and with mutations inactivating the PRDM1gene, which encodes a transcriptional repressor required for plasma celldifferentiation.

A particularly relevant signaling pathway in the pathogenesis ofABC-DLBCL is the one mediated by the nuclear factor (NF)-κBtranscription complex. The NF-κB family comprises 5 members (p50, p52,p65, c-rel and RelB) that form homo- and heterodimers and function astranscriptional factors to mediate a variety of proliferation,apoptosis, inflammatory and immune responses and are critical for normalB-cell development and survival. NF-κB is widely used by eukaryoticcells as a regulator of genes that control cell proliferation and cellsurvival. As such, many different types of human tumors havemisregulated NF-κB: that is, NF-κB is constitutively active. ActiveNF-κB turns on the expression of genes that keep the cell proliferatingand protect the cell from conditions that would otherwise cause it todie via apoptosis.

The dependence of ABC DLBCLs on NF-kB depends on a signaling pathwayupstream of IkB kinase comprised of CARD11, BCL10 and MALT1 (the CBMcomplex). Interference with the CBM pathway extinguishes NF-kB signalingin ABC DLBCL cells and induces apoptosis. The molecular basis forconstitutive activity of the NF-kB pathway is a subject of currentinvestigation but some somatic alterations to the genome of ABC DLBCLsclearly invoke this pathway. For example, somatic mutations of thecoiled-coil domain of CARD11 in DLBCL render this signaling scaffoldprotein able to spontaneously nucleate protein-protein interaction withMALT1 and BCL10, causing IKK activity and NF-kB activation. Constitutiveactivity of the B cell receptor signaling pathway has been implicated inthe activation of NF-kB in ABC DLBCLs with wild type CARD11, and this isassociated with mutations within the cytoplasmic tails of the B cellreceptor subunits CD79A and CD79B. Oncogenic activating mutations in thesignaling adapter MYD88 activate NF-kB and synergize with B cellreceptor signaling in sustaining the survival of ABC DLBCL cells. Inaddition, inactivating mutations in a negative regulator of the NF-kBpathway, A20, occur almost exclusively in ABC DLBCL.

Indeed, genetic alterations affecting multiple components of the NF-κBsignaling pathway have been recently identified in more than 50% ofABC-DLBCL patients, where these lesions promote constitutive NF-κBactivation, thereby contributing to lymphoma growth. These includemutations of CARD11 (˜10% of the cases), a lymphocyte-specificcytoplasmic scaffolding protein that—together with MALT1 and BCL10—formsthe BCR signalosome, which relays signals from antigen receptors to thedownstream mediators of NF-κB activation. An even larger fraction ofcases (˜30%) carry biallelic genetic lesions inactivating the negativeNF-κB regulator A20. Further, high levels of expression of NF-κB targetgenes have been observed in ABC-DLBCL tumor samples. See, e.g., U. Kleinet al., (2008), Nature Reviews Immunology 8:22-23; R. E. Davis et al.,(2001), Journal of Experimental Medicine 194:1861-1874; G. Lentz et al.,(2008), Science 319:1676-1679; M. Compagno et al., (2009), Nature459:712-721; and L. Srinivasan et al., (2009), Cell 139:573-586).

DLBCL cells of the ABC subtype, such as OCI-Ly10, have chronic activeBCR signalling and are very sensitive to the Btk inhibitor describedherein. The irreversible Btk inhibitor described herein potently andirreversibly inhibits the growth of OCI-Ly10 (EC₅₀ continuousexposure=10 nM, EC₅₀ 1 hour pulse=50 nM). In addition, induction ofapoptosis, as shown by capsase activation, Annexin-V flow cytometry andincrease in sub-GO fraction is observed in OCILy10. Both sensitive andresistant cells express Btk at similar levels, and the active site ofBtk is fully occupied by the inhibitor in both as shown using afluorescently labeled affinity probe. OCI-Ly10 cells are shown to havechronically active BCR signalling to NF-kB which is dose dependentlyinhibited by the Btk inhibitors described herein. The activity of Btkinhibitors in the cell lines studied herein are also characterized bycomparing signal transduction profiles (Btk, PLCγ, ERK, NF-kB, AKT),cytokine secretion profiles and mRNA expression profiles, both with andwithout BCR stimulation, and observed significant differences in theseprofiles that lead to clinical biomarkers that identify the mostsensitive patient populations to Btk inhibitor treatment.

Follicular Lymphoma

Disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, is a method for treating afollicular lymphoma in an individual in need thereof, comprising:administering to the individual an amount of Compound 1. Furtherdisclosed herein, in certain embodiments, is a method for treatingrelapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma in an individual in needthereof, comprising: administering to the individual atherapeutically-effective amount of Compound 1.

As used herein, the term “follicular lymphoma” refers to any of severaltypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in which the lymphomatous cells areclustered into nodules or follicles. The term follicular is used becausethe cells tend to grow in a circular, or nodular, pattern in lymphnodes. The average age for people with this lymphoma is about 60.

CLL/SLL

Disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, is a method for treating a CLLor SLL in an individual in need thereof, comprising: administering tothe individual an amount of Compound 1. Further disclosed herein, incertain embodiments, is a method for treating relapsed or refractory CLLor SLL in an individual in need thereof, comprising: administering tothe individual a therapeutically-effective amount of Compound 1.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL)are commonly thought as the same disease with slightly differentmanifestations. Where the cancerous cells gather determines whether itis called CLL or SLL. When the cancer cells are primarily found in thelymph nodes, lima bean shaped structures of the lymphatic system (asystem primarily of tiny vessels found in the body), it is called SLL.SLL accounts for about 5% to 10% of all lymphomas. When most of thecancer cells are in the bloodstream and the bone marrow, it is calledCLL.

Both CLL and SLL are slow-growing diseases, although CLL, which is muchmore common, tends to grow slower. CLL and SLL are treated the same way.They are usually not considered curable with standard treatments, butdepending on the stage and growth rate of the disease, most patientslive longer than 10 years. Occasionally over time, these slow-growinglymphomas may transform into a more aggressive type of lymphoma.

Chronic lymphoid leukemia (CLL) is the most common type of leukemia. Itis estimated that 100,760 people in the United States are living with orare in remission from CLL. Most (>75%) people newly diagnosed with CLLare over the age of 50. Currently CLL treatment focuses on controllingthe disease and its symptoms rather than on an outright cure. CLL istreated by chemotherapy, radiation therapy, biological therapy, or bonemarrow transplantation. Symptoms are sometimes treated surgically(splenectomy removal of enlarged spleen) or by radiation therapy(“de-bulking” swollen lymph nodes). Though CLL progresses slowly in mostcases, it is considered generally incurable. Certain CLLs are classifiedas high-risk. As used herein, “high risk CLL” means CLL characterized byat least one of the following 1) 17p13-; 2) 11q22-; 3) unmutated IgVHtogether with ZAP-70+ and/or CD38+; or 4) trisomy 12.

CLL treatment is typically administered when the patient's clinicalsymptoms or blood counts indicate that the disease has progressed to apoint where it may affect the patient's quality of life.

Small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL) is very similar to CLL described supra,and is also a cancer of B-cells. In SLL the abnormal lymphocytes mainlyaffect the lymph nodes. However, in CLL the abnormal cells mainly affectthe blood and the bone marrow. The spleen may be affected in bothconditions. SLL accounts for about 1 in 25 of all cases of non-Hodgkinlymphoma. It can occur at any time from young adulthood to old age, butis rare under the age of 50. SLL is considered an indolent lymphoma.This means that the disease progresses very slowly, and patients tend tolive many years after diagnosis. However, most patients are diagnosedwith advanced disease, and although SLL responds well to a variety ofchemotherapy drugs, it is generally considered to be incurable. Althoughsome cancers tend to occur more often in one gender or the other, casesand deaths due to SLL are evenly split between men and women. Theaverage age at the time of diagnosis is 60 years.

Although SLL is indolent, it is persistently progressive. The usualpattern of this disease is one of high response rates to radiationtherapy and/or chemotherapy, with a period of disease remission. This isfollowed months or years later by an inevitable relapse. Re-treatmentleads to a response again, but again the disease will relapse. Thismeans that although the short-term prognosis of SLL is quite good, overtime, many patients develop fatal complications of recurrent disease.Considering the age of the individuals typically diagnosed with CLL andSLL, there is a need in the art for a simple and effective treatment ofthe disease with minimum side-effects that do not impede on thepatient's quality of life. The instant invention fulfills this longstanding need in the art.

Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, is a method for treating aMantle cell lymphoma in an individual in need thereof, comprising:administering to the individual an amount of Compound 1. Furtherdisclosed herein, in certain embodiments, is a method for treatingrelapsed or refractory Mantle cell lymphoma in an individual in needthereof, comprising: administering to the individual atherapeutically-effective amount of Compound 1.

As used herein, the term, “Mantle cell lymphoma” refers to a subtype ofB-cell lymphoma, due to CD5 positive antigen-naive pregerminal centerB-cell within the mantle zone that surrounds normal germinal centerfollicles. MCL cells generally over-express cyclin D1 due to a t(11:14)chromosomal translocation in the DNA. More specifically, thetranslocation is at t(11;14)(q13;q32). Only about 5% of lymphomas are ofthis type. The cells are small to medium in size. Men are affected mostoften. The average age of patients is in the early 60s. The lymphoma isusually widespread when it is diagnosed, involving lymph nodes, bonemarrow, and, very often, the spleen. Mantle cell lymphoma is not a veryfast growing lymphoma, but is difficult to treat.

Furtherdisclosed herein, in certain embodiments, is a method for treatingrelapsed or refractory Burkitt lymphoma in an individual in needthereof, comprising: administering to the individual atherapeutically-effective amount of Compound 1.

The term “Burkitt lymphoma” refers to a type of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma(NHL) that commonly affects children. It is a highly aggressive type ofB-cell lymphoma that often starts and involves body parts other thanlymph nodes. In spite of its fast-growing nature, Burkitt's lymphoma isoften curable with modern intensive therapies. There are two broad typesof Burkitt's lymphoma—the sporadic and the endemic varieties:

Endemic Burkitt's lymphoma: The disease involves children much more thanadults, and is related to Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) infection in 95%cases. It occurs primarily is equatorial Africa, where about half of allchildhood cancers are Burkitt's lymphoma. It characteristically has ahigh chance of involving the jawbone, a rather distinctive feature thatis rare in sporadic Burkitt's. It also commonly involves the abdomen.

Sporadic Burkitt's lymphoma: The type of Burkitt's lymphoma that affectsthe rest of the world, including Europe and the Americas is the sporadictype. Here too, it's mainly a disease in children. The link betweenEpstein Barr Virus (EBV) is not as strong as with the endemic variety,though direct evidence of EBV infection is present in one out of fivepatients. More than the involvement of lymph nodes, it is the abdomenthat is notably affected in more than 90% of the children. Bone marrowinvolvement is more common than in the sporadic variety.

Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia

Disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, is a method for treating aWaldenstrom macroglobulinemia in an individual in need thereof,comprising: administering to the individual an amount of Compound 1.Further disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, is a method fortreating relapsed or refractory Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia in anindividual in need thereof, comprising: administering to the individuala therapeutically-effective amount of Compound 1.

The term “Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia”, also known aslymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, is cancer involving a subtype of white bloodcells called lymphocytes. It is characterized by an uncontrolled clonalproliferation of terminally differentiated B lymphocytes. It is alsocharacterized by the lymphoma cells making an antibody calledimmunoglobulin M (IgM). The IgM antibodies circulate in the blood inlarge amounts, and cause the liquid part of the blood to thicken, likesyrup. This can lead to decreased blood flow to many organs, which cancause problems with vision (because of poor circulation in blood vesselsin the back of the eyes) and neurological problems (such as headache,dizziness, and confusion) caused by poor blood flow within the brain.Other symptoms can include feeling tired and weak, and a tendency tobleed easily. The underlying etiology is not fully understood but anumber of risk factors have been identified, including the locus 6p21.3on chromosome 6. There is a 2- to 3-fold risk increase of developing WMin people with a personal history of autoimmune diseases withautoantibodies and particularly elevated risks associated withhepatitis, human immunodeficiency virus, and rickettsiosis.

Disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, is a method for treating amyeloma in an individual in need thereof, comprising: administering tothe individual an amount of Compound 1. Further disclosed herein, incertain embodiments, is a method for treating relapsed or refractorymyeloma in an individual in need thereof, comprising: administering tothe individual a therapeutically-effective amount of Compound 1.

Multiple myeloma, also known as MM, myeloma, plasma cell myeloma, or asKahler's disease (after Otto Kahler) is a cancer of the white bloodcells known as plasma cells. A type of B cell, plasma cells are acrucial part of the immune system responsible for the production ofantibodies in humans and other vertebrates. They are produced in thebone marrow and are transported through the lymphatic system.

Leukemia

Disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, is a method for treating aleukemia in an individual in need thereof, comprising: administering tothe individual an amount of Compound 1. Further disclosed herein, incertain embodiments, is a method for treating relapsed or refractoryleukemia in an individual in need thereof, comprising: administering tothe individual a therapeutically-effective amount of Compound 1.

Leukemia is a cancer of the blood or bone marrow characterized by anabnormal increase of blood cells, usually leukocytes (white bloodcells). Leukemia is a broad term covering a spectrum of diseases. Thefirst division is between its acute and chronic forms: (i) acuteleukemia is characterized by the rapid increase of immature blood cells.This crowding makes the bone marrow unable to produce healthy bloodcells. Immediate treatment is required in acute leukemia due to therapid progression and accumulation of the malignant cells, which thenspill over into the bloodstream and spread to other organs of the body.Acute forms of leukemia are the most common forms of leukemia inchildren; (ii) chronic leukemia is distinguished by the excessive buildup of relatively mature, but still abnormal, white blood cells.Typically taking months or years to progress, the cells are produced ata much higher rate than normal cells, resulting in many abnormal whiteblood cells in the blood. Chronic leukemia mostly occurs in olderpeople, but can theoretically occur in any age group. Additionally, thediseases are subdivided according to which kind of blood cell isaffected. This split divides leukemias into lymphoblastic or lymphocyticleukemias and myeloid or myelogenous leukemias: (i) lymphoblastic orlymphocytic leukemias, the cancerous change takes place in a type ofmarrow cell that normally goes on to form lymphocytes, which areinfection-fighting immune system cells; (ii) myeloid or myelogenousleukemias, the cancerous change takes place in a type of marrow cellthat normally goes on to form red blood cells, some other types of whitecells, and platelets.

Within these main categories, there are several subcategories including,but not limited to, Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), precursor B-cellacute lymphoblastic leukemia (precursor B-ALL; also called precursorB-lymphoblastic leukemia), Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), Chronicmyelogenous leukemia (CML), and Hairy cell leukemia (HCL). Accordingly,disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, is a method for treating Acutelymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), precursor B-cell acute lymphoblasticleukemia (precursor B-ALL; also called precursor B-lymphoblasticleukemia), Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), Chronic myelogenousleukemia (CML), or Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) in an individual in needthereof, comprising: administering to the individual an amount ofCompound 1. In some embodiments, the leukemia is a relapsed orrefractory leukemia. In some embodiments, the leukemia is a relapsed orrefractory Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), relapsed or refractoryprecursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (precursor B-ALL; alsocalled precursor B-lymphoblastic leukemia), relapsed or refractory Acutemyelogenous leukemia (AML), relapsed or refractory Chronic myelogenousleukemia (CML), or relapsed or refractory Hairy cell leukemia (HCL).

Symptoms, diagnostic tests, and prognostic tests for each of theabove-mentioned conditions are known. See, e.g., Harrison's Principlesof Internal Medicine©,” 16th ed., 2004, The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.Dey et al. (2006), Cytojournal 3(24), and the “Revised European AmericanLymphoma” (REAL) classification system (see, e.g., the websitemaintained by the National Cancer Institute).

A number of animal models of are useful for establishing a range oftherapeutically effective doses of irreversible Btk inhibitor compounds,such as Compound 1, for treating any of the foregoing diseases.

The therapeutic efficacy of Compound 1 for any one of the foregoingdiseases can be optimized during a course of treatment. For example, asubject being treated can undergo a diagnostic evaluation to correlatethe relief of disease symptoms or pathologies to inhibition of in vivoBtk activity achieved by administering a given dose of Compound 1.Cellular assays known in the art can be used to determine in vivoactivity of Btk in the presence or absence of an irreversible Btkinhibitor. For example, since activated Btk is phosphorylated attyrosine 223 (Y223) and tyrosine 551 (Y551), phospho-specificimmunocytochemical staining of P-Y223 or P-Y551-positive cells can beused to detect or quantify activation of Bkt in a population of cells(e.g., by FACS analysis of stained vs unstained cells). See, e.g.,Nisitani et al. (1999), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci, USA 96:2221-2226. Thus,the amount of the Btk inhibitor inhibitor compound that is administeredto a subject can be increased or decreased as needed so as to maintain alevel of Btk inhibition optimal for treating the subject's diseasestate.

Compound 1 can irreversibly inhibit Btk and may be used to treat mammalssuffering from Bruton's tyrosine kinase-dependent or Bruton's tyrosinekinase mediated conditions or diseases, including, but not limited to,cancer, autoimmune and other inflammatory diseases. Compound 1 has shownefficacy is a wide variety of diseases and conditions that are describedherein.

In some embodiments, Compound 1 is used for the manufacture of amedicament for treating any of the foregoing conditions (e.g.,autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, allergy disorders, B-cellproliferative disorders, or thromboembolic disorders).

Preparation of Crystalline Forms

In some embodiments, crystalline forms of1-((R)-3-(4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-1-yl)piperidin-1-yl)prop-2-en-1-oneare prepared as outlined in the Examples. It is noted that solvents,temperatures and other reaction conditions presented herein may vary.

Suitable Solvents

Therapeutic agents that are administrable to mammals, such as humans,must be prepared by following regulatory guidelines. Such governmentregulated guidelines are referred to as Good Manufacturing Practice(GMP). GMP guidelines outline acceptable contamination levels of activetherapeutic agents, such as, for example, the amount of residual solventin the final product. Preferred solvents are those that are suitable foruse in GMP facilities and consistent with industrial safety concerns.Categories of solvents are defined in, for example, the InternationalConference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registrationof Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH), “Impurities: Guidelines forResidual Solvents, Q3C(R3), (November 2005).

Solvents are categorized into three classes. Class 1 solvents are toxicand are to be avoided. Class 2 solvents are solvents to be limited inuse during the manufacture of the therapeutic agent. Class 3 solventsare solvents with low toxic potential and of lower risk to human health.Data for Class 3 solvents indicate that they are less toxic in acute orshort-term studies and negative in genotoxicity studies.

Class 1 solvents, which are to be avoided, include: benzene; carbontetrachloride; 1,2-dichloroethane; 1,1-dichloroethene; and1,1,1-trichloroethane.

Examples of Class 2 solvents are: acetonitrile, chlorobenzene,chloroform, cyclohexane, 1,2-dichloroethene, dichloromethane,1,2-dimethoxyethane, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide,1,4-dioxane, 2-ethoxyethanol, ethyleneglycol, formamide, hexane,methanol, 2-methoxyethanol, methylbutyl ketone, methylcyclohexane,N-methylpyrrolidine, nitromethane, pyridine, sulfolane, tetralin,toluene, 1,1,2-trichloroethene and xylene.

Class 3 solvents, which possess low toxicity, include: acetic acid,acetone, anisole, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, butyl acetate, tert-butylmethylether (MTBE), cumene, dimethyl sulfoxide, ethanol, ethyl acetate, ethylether, ethyl formate, formic acid, heptane, isobutyl acetate, isopropylacetate, methyl acetate, 3-methyl-1-butanol, methylethyl ketone,methylisobutyl ketone, 2-methyl-1-propanol, pentane, 1-pentanol,1-propanol, 2-propanol, propyl acetate, and tetrahydrofuran.

Residual solvents in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) originatefrom the manufacture of API. In some cases, the solvents are notcompletely removed by practical manufacturing techniques. Appropriateselection of the solvent for the synthesis of APIs may enhance theyield, or determine characteristics such as crystal form, purity, andsolubility. Therefore, the solvent is a critical parameter in thesynthetic process.

In some embodiments, compositions comprising Compound 1 comprise anorganic solvent(s). In some embodiments, compositions comprisingCompound 1 comprise a residual amount of an organic solvent(s). In someembodiments, compositions comprising Compound 1 comprise a residualamount of a Class 3 solvent. In some embodiments, the organic solvent isa Class 3 solvent. In some embodiments, the Class 3 solvent is selectedfrom the group consisting of acetic acid, acetone, anisole, 1-butanol,2-butanol, butyl acetate, tert-butylmethyl ether, cumene, dimethylsulfoxide, ethanol, ethyl acetate, ethyl ether, ethyl formate, formicacid, heptane, isobutyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, methyl acetate,3-methyl-1-butanol, methylethyl ketone, methylisobutyl ketone,2-methyl-1-propanol, pentane, 1-pentanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, propylacetate, and tetrahydrofuran. In some embodiments, the Class 3 solventis selected from ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate,tert-butylmethylether, heptane, isopropanol, and ethanol.

In yet other embodiments, the microencapsulation material isKlucel. In still other embodiments, the microencapsulation material ismethocel.

Microencapsulated Compound 1 may be formulated by methods known by oneof ordinary skill in the art. Such known methods include, e.g., spraydrying processes, spinning disk-solvent processes, hot melt processes,spray chilling methods, fluidized bed, electrostatic deposition,centrifugal extrusion, rotational suspension separation, polymerizationat liquid-gas or solid-gas interface, pressure extrusion, or sprayingsolvent extraction bath. In addition to these, several chemicaltechniques, e.g., complex coacervation, solvent evaporation,polymer-polymer incompatibility, interfacial polymerization in liquidmedia, in situ polymerization, in-liquid drying, and desolvation inliquid media could also be used. Furthermore, other methods such asroller compaction, extrusion/spheronization, coacervation, ornanoparticle coating may also be used.

In one embodiment, the particles of Compound 1 are microencapsulatedprior to being formulated into one of the above forms. In still anotherembodiment, some or most of the particles are coated prior to beingfurther formulated by using standard coating procedures, such as thosedescribed in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 20th Edition (2000).

In other embodiments, the solid dosage formulations of the Compound 1are plasticized (coated) with one or more layers. Illustratively, aplasticizer is generally a high boiling point solid or liquid.

In still other embodiments, effervescent powders are also prepared inaccordance with the present disclosure. Effervescent salts have beenused to disperse medicines in water for oral administration.Effervescent salts are granules or coarse powders containing a medicinalagent in a dry mixture, usually composed of sodium bicarbonate, citricacid and/or tartaric acid. When salts of the compositions describedherein are added to water, the acids and the base react to liberatecarbon dioxide gas, thereby causing “effervescence.” Examples ofeffervescent salts include, e.g., the following ingredients: sodiumbicarbonate or a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate,citric acid and/or tartaric acid. Any acid-base combination that resultsin the liberation of carbon dioxide can be used in place of thecombination of sodium bicarbonate and citric and tartaric acids, as longas the ingredients were suitable for pharmaceutical use and result in apH of about 6.0 or higher.

In some embodiments, the solid dosage forms described herein can beformulated as enteric coated delayed release oral dosage forms, i.e., asan oral dosage form of a pharmaceutical composition as described hereinwhich utilizes an enteric coating to affect release in the smallintestine of the gastrointestinal tract. The enteric coated dosage formmay be a compressed or molded or extruded tablet/mold (coated oruncoated) containing granules, powder, pellets, beads or particles ofthe active ingredient and/or other composition components, which arethemselves coated or uncoated. The enteric coated oral dosage form mayalso be a capsule (coated or uncoated) containing pellets, beads orgranules of the solid carrier or the composition, which are themselvescoated or uncoated.

The term “delayed release” as used herein refers to the delivery so thatthe release can be accomplished at some generally predictable locationin the intestinal tract more distal to that which would have beenaccomplished if there had been no delayed release alterations. In someembodiments the method for delay of release is coating. Any coatingsshould be applied to a sufficient thickness such that the entire coatingdoes not dissolve in the gastrointestinal fluids at pH below about 5,but does dissolve at pH about 5 and above. It is expected that anyanionic polymer exhibiting a pH-dependent solubility profile can be usedas an enteric coating in the methods and compositions described hereinto achieve delivery to the lower gastrointestinal tract. In someembodiments the polymers described herein are anionic carboxylicpolymers. In other embodiments, the polymers and compatible mixturesthereof, and some of their properties, include, but are not limited to:

Shellac, also called purified lac, a refined product obtained from theresinous secretion of an insect. This coating dissolves in media ofpH>7;

Acrylic polymers. The performance of acrylic polymers (primarily theirsolubility in biological fluids) can vary based on the degree and typeof substitution. Examples of suitable acrylic polymers includemethacrylic acid copolymers and ammonium methacrylate copolymers. TheEudragit series E, L, S, RL, RS and NE (Rohm Pharma) are available assolubilized in organic solvent, aqueous dispersion, or dry powders. TheEudragit series RL, NE, and RS are insoluble in the gastrointestinaltract but are permeable and are used primarily for colonic targeting.The Eudragit series E dissolve in the stomach. The Eudragit series L,L-30D and S are insoluble in stomach and dissolve in the intestine;

Cellulose Derivatives. Examples of suitable cellulose derivatives are:ethyl cellulose; reaction mixtures of partial acetate esters ofcellulose with phthalic anhydride. The performance can vary based on thedegree and type of substitution. Cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP)dissolves in pH>6. Aquateric (FMC) is an aqueous based system and is aspray dried CAP psuedolatex with particles<1 μm. Other components inAquateric can include pluronics, Tweens, and acetylated monoglycerides.Other suitable cellulose derivatives include: cellulose acetatetrimellitate (Eastman); methylcellulose (Pharmacoat, Methocel);hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose phthalate (HPMCP); hydroxypropylmethylcellulose succinate (HPMCS); and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetatesuccinate (e.g., AQOAT (Shin Etsu)). The performance can vary based onthe degree and type of substitution. For example, HPMCP such as, HP-50,HP-55, HP-55S, HP-55F grades are suitable. The performance can varybased on the degree and type of substitution. For example, suitablegrades of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate include, butare not limited to, AS-LG (LF), which dissolves at pH 5, AS-MG (MF),which dissolves at pH 5.5, and AS-HG (HF), which dissolves at higher pH.These polymers are offered as granules, or as fine powders for aqueousdispersions; Poly Vinyl Acetate Phthalate (PVAP). PVAP dissolves inpH>5, and it is much less permeable to water vapor and gastric fluids.

In some embodiments, the coating can, and usually does, contain aplasticizer and possibly other coating excipients such as colorants,talc, and/or magnesium stearate, which are well known in the art.Suitable plasticizers include triethyl citrate (Citroflex 2), triacetin(glyceryl triacetate), acetyl triethyl citrate (Citroflec A2), Carbowax400 (polyethylene glycol 400), diethyl phthalate, tributyl citrate,acetylated monoglycerides, glycerol, fatty acid esters, propyleneglycol, and dibutyl phthalate. In particular, anionic carboxylic acrylicpolymers usually will contain 10-25% by weight of a plasticizer,especially dibutyl phthalate, polyethylene glycol, triethyl citrate andtriacetin. Conventional coating techniques such as spray or pan coatingare employed to apply coatings. The coating thickness must be sufficientto ensure that the oral dosage form remains intact until the desiredsite of topical delivery in the intestinal tract is reached.

Colorants, detackifiers, surfactants, antifoaming agents, lubricants(e.g., carnuba wax or PEG) may be added to the coatings besidesplasticizers to solubilize or disperse the coating material, and toimprove coating performance and the coated product.

In other embodiments, the formulations described herein, which includeCompound 1 are delivered using a pulsatile dosage form. A pulsatiledosage form is capable of providing one or more immediate release pulsesat predetermined time points after a controlled lag time or at specificsites. Many other types of controlled release systems known to those ofordinary skill in the art and are suitable for use with the formulationsdescribed herein. Examples of such delivery systems include, e.g.,polymer-based systems, such as polylactic and polyglycolic acid,plyanhydrides and polycaprolactone; porous matrices, nonpolymer-basedsystems that are lipids, including sterols, such as cholesterol,cholesterol esters and fatty acids, or neutral fats, such as mono-, di-and triglycerides; hydrogel release systems; silastic systems;peptide-based systems; wax coatings, bioerodible dosage forms,compressed tablets using conventional binders and the like.

In the case wherein the patient's status does improve, upon the doctor'sdiscretion the administration of the compounds may be givencontinuously; alternatively, the dose of drug being administered may betemporarily reduced or temporarily suspended for a certain length oftime (i.e., a “drug holiday”). The length of the drug holiday can varybetween 2 days and 1 year, including by way of example only, 2 days, 3days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 10 days, 12 days, 15 days, 20days, 28 days, 35 days, 50 days, 70 days, 100 days, 120 days, 150 days,180 days, 200 days, 250 days, 280 days, 300 days, 320 days, 350 days, or365 days. The dose reduction during a drug holiday may be from 10%-100%,including, by way of example only, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%,45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100%.

Once improvement of the patient's conditions has occurred, a maintenancedose is administered if necessary. Subsequently, the dosage or thefrequency of administration, or both, can be reduced, as a function ofthe symptoms, to a level at which the improved disease, disorder orcondition is retained. Patients can, however, require intermittenttreatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of symptoms.

The amount of a given agent that will correspond to such an amount willvary depending upon factors such as the particular compound, theseverity of the disease, the identity (e.g., weight) of the subject orhost in need of treatment, but can nevertheless be routinely determinedin a manner known in the art according to the particular circumstancessurrounding the case, including, e.g., the specific agent beingadministered, the route of administration, and the subject or host beingtreated. In general, however, doses employed for adult human treatmentwill typically be in the range of 0.02-5000 mg per day, or from about1-1500 mg per day. The desired dose may conveniently be presented in asingle dose or as divided doses administered simultaneously (or over ashort period of time) or at appropriate intervals, for example as two,three, four or more sub-doses per day.

The pharmaceutical composition described herein may be in unit dosageforms suitable for single administration of precise dosages. In unitdosage form, the formulation is divided into unit doses containingappropriate quantities of one or more compound. The unit dosage may bein the form of a package containing discrete quantities of theformulation. Non-limiting examples are packaged tablets or capsules, andpowders in vials or ampoules. Aqueous suspension compositions can bepackaged in single-dose non-reclosable containers. Alternatively,multiple-dose reclosable containers can be used, in which case it istypical to include a preservative in the composition. By way of exampleonly, formulations for parenteral injection may be presented in unitdosage form, which include, but are not limited to ampoules, or inmulti-dose containers, with an added preservative. In some embodiments,each unit dosage form comprises 140 mg of Compound 1. In someembodiments, an individual is administered 1 unit dosage form per day.In some embodiments, an individual is administered 2 unit dosage formsper day. In some embodiments, an individual is administered 3 unitdosage forms per day. In some embodiments, an individual is administered4 unit dosage forms per day.

The foregoing ranges are merely suggestive, as the number of variablesin regard to an individual treatment regime is large, and considerableexcursions from these recommended values are not uncommon. Such dosagesmay be altered depending on a number of variables, not limited to theactivity of the compound used, the disease or condition to be treated,the mode of administration, the requirements of the individual subject,the severity of the disease or condition being treated, and the judgmentof the practitioner.

Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of such therapeutic regimens can bedetermined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures orexperimental animals, including, but not limited to, the determinationof the LD₅₀ (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED₅₀ (thedose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratiobetween the toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index andit can be expressed as the ratio between LD₅₀ and ED₅₀. Compoundsexhibiting high therapeutic indices are preferred. The data obtainedfrom cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating arange of dosage for use in human. The dosage of such compounds liespreferably within a range of circulating concentrations that include theED₅₀ with minimal toxicity. The dosage may vary within this rangedepending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administrationutilized.

EXAMPLES

The following ingredients, formulations, processes and procedures forpracticing the methods disclosed herein correspond to that describedabove.

Example 1: Preparation of Crystalline Forms of1-((R)-3-(4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-1-yl)piperidin-1-yl)prop-2-en-1-one(Compound 1)

Form A—Route 1:

Amorphous Compound 1 (ca. 15 mg) was measured into a vial. Ten volumes(150 μl) of solvent [methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), diisopropyl ether(DIPE), ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, isopropyl alcohol, methylisobutyl ketone (MIBK), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), acetone, methanol,nitromethane, 10% aqueous acetone, or 10% aqueous isopropyl alcohol]were added to the vial. The vial was sealed and placed in a shaker at50° C. for one hour. If a slurry was obtained, an additional thirtyvolumes (total of 600 μl) of solvent was added, then the slurry wasreturned to 50° C. for another hour. If the sample remained as a slurryat this point, no further solvent was added. The solution/slurry wasstirred at 50° C. for one hour, then cooled to 0° C. at 0.1° C./min,then held at 0° C. overnight. If a slurry was obtained, the solids werefiltered under vacuum to provide Compound 1, Form A; the solution wasreturned to ambient temperature for slow evaporation through a pin-holeto furnish Compound 1, Form A.

Form A—Route 2:

Amorphous Compound 1 (20 mg) was added to a vial, followed by solvent[heptanes (10 volumes), dioxane (1 volume), toluene (10 volumes), MTBE(10 volumes), DIPE (10 volumes), anisole (1 volume), ethyl acetate (10volumes), isopropyl acetate (10 volumes), tetrahydrofuran (1 volume),DCM (1 volume), MIBK (10 volumes), MEK (10 volumes), acetone (10volumes), methanol (10 volumes), ethanol (10 volumes), acetonitrile (10volumes), nitromethane (1 volume), water (10 volumes), or 10% aqueousisopropyl alcohol (1 volume)]. The sealed vial was placed in amaturation chamber (cycling between 50° C. and ambient for four hourseach) for five days before the solids were filtered under vacuum toprovide Compound 1, Form A.

In some embodiments, amorphous Compound 1 is prepared by dissolvingCompound 1, Form A (ca. 500 mg) in 10 ml dichloromethane (DCM). Thesolvent was removed by rotary evaporation, occurring rapidly enough toprevent crystallization to provide amorphous Compound 1.

Form A—Route 3:

In a clean round bottom flask, 12.0 grams of Compound 1 were dissolvedin 120 ml of methanol by heating to 45° C. with magnetic stirring. Tothe warm solution of dissolved Compound 1 was added 72 ml of water over45 min, maintaining the internal temperature at 45° C. The solutionslowly became a slurry and was stirred for 3 hours at the elevatedtemperature. A sample of the slurry was drawn, filtered and dried. Theslurry was allowed to cool to room temperature and stirred for at least16 hours. Another sample of the slurry was drawn, filtered and dried.The solids were filtered, washed with 50 ml of a 3:2 mixture ofmethanol: water, and dried on the filter for 40 hours. Yield 9.6 gramsof Form A (melting points: 1st sample ˜152° C., 2^(nd) sample ˜154° C.,main lot ˜154° C.).

Form A was also attained in an analogous manner using aqueous acetone,ethanol, and n-propanol.

Form B—Route 1:

Compound 1, Form A (ca. 100 mg) was weighed into a vessel and dissolvedin methanol (2 ml). The solution was heated to 50° C. to ensure fulldissolution, then cooled to 5° C. Water was added to the solution at 5°C. (200 μl at a time until sample became cloudy, totaling 1000 μl).Seeds of Compound 1, Form C were added immediately upon appearance ofcloudiness. The slurry was stirred at 5° C. for one day. An aliquot wasremoved by pipette for analysis by XRPD, keeping the bulk of the samplein the same conditions. The XRPD analysis highlighted the lowcrystallinity of the material, so the sample was held at 5° C. for anadditional three days. After this time, re-analysis of an aliquot of thesample showed the material to have converted to Compound 1, Form B. Thesample was isolated by filtration under vacuum to provide Compound 1,Form B.

Form B—Route 2:

Compound 1, Form A (ca. 500 mg) was weighed into a vessel and dissolvedin methanol (4 ml) at 50° C. The solution was cooled to 25° C.,remaining in solution. Water was added (500 μl of water added at a time,2 ml in total) until the solution became cloudy. The slurry was stirredfor ten minutes. An aliquot was removed by pipette to assess thematerial by XRPD while the sample stirred at 25° C. for an hour;however, the material was of very low crystallinity. After the hourstirring at 25° C., the sample was placed at 5° C. for three days. Afterthis time, another aliquot was removed by pipette for XRPD analysis. Theremainder of the slurry was filtered under vacuum and dried at 25° C.under vacuum overnight to provide Compound 1, Form B.

Form C:

In a clean round bottom flask, 2.0 grams of Compound 1 were suspended in25 ml of methanol and heated to 50° C. The warm solution of dissolvedCompound 1 was filtered into a clean round bottom flask. The polishedsolution was allowed to cool to room temperature with magnetic stirring.The solution slowly became a slurry and was stirred for over 14 hours.The solids were filtered, washed with 5 mL of methanol, and dried on thefilter for 20 hours, then at 50° C. in a vacuum-oven for 8 hours. Yield1.4 grams of Form C (melting point=˜132° C.).

Form D:

A dry mixture (ca. 5 mg of each component) was prepared using two ofForm A, Form B, or Form C of Compound 1. A slurry made from amorphousCompound 1 in MIBK was filtered to obtain a saturated solution. Tenvolumes (100 μl) of the saturated solution were added to the dry mixtureto prepare a new slurry. The slurry was stored at 5° C. for three daysbefore filtration under vacuum to provide Compound 1, Form D.

Form E:

Amorphous compound 1 (20 mg) was added to a vial, followed by seeds ofCompound 1, Form C (ca. 5 mg). Ten volumes of toluene (200 μl) wereadded to the vial to prepare a slurry. The vial was sealed and matured(cycling between 50° C. and ambient temperature for four hours each) forone day. An aliquot was removed by pipette for analysis by XRPD, TGA,and DSC; data were consistent with Compound 1, Form E. However, thiscompound was found to have converted to Compound 1, Form A afterstanding at ambient temperature overnight and drying at 40° C. in vacuofor one day.

Form F:

In a clean 20 ml scintillation vial, 200 mgs of Compound 1 and 50 mgs ofactivated charcoal were suspended in 4 ml of methanol and heated to 50°C. The resulting mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 2.5 hours. The warmsolution of dissolved Compound 1 was filtered though a syringe filterinto a new, clean 20 ml vial, removing the charcoal. The polishedsolution was allowed to cool to room temperature. Without stirring, thesolution was aged for over a week when some crystals were observed tohave formed. After 6 more weeks the bottom of the vial was covered withlarge crystals. The crystals were maintained under the supersaturatedmethanol solution for analysis.

Example 2: X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD)

X-Ray powder diffraction patterns were collected on a Bruker AXS C2GADDS or Bruker AXS D8 diffractometer.

Bruker AXS C2 GADDS

X-Ray Powder Diffraction patterns were collected on a Bruker AXS C2GADDS diffractometer using Cu Ka radiation (40 kV, 40 mA), automated XYZstage, laser video microscope for auto-sample positioning and a HiStar2-dimensional area detector. X-ray optics consists of a single Gobelmultilayer mirror coupled with a pinhole collimator of 0.3 mm. A weeklyperformance check is carried out using a certified standard NIST 1976Corundum (flat plate). The beam divergence, i.e. the effective size ofthe X-ray beam on the sample, was approximately 4 mm. A θ-θ continuousscan mode was employed with a sample-detector distance of 20 cm whichgives an effective 2θ range of 3.2°-29.7°. Typically the sample would beexposed to the X-ray beam for 120 seconds. The software used for datacollection was GADDS for WNT 4.1.16 and the data were analysed andpresented using Diffrac Plus EVA v11.0.0.2 or v13.0.0.2.

Ambient Conditions

Samples run under ambient conditions were prepared as flat platespecimens using powder as received without grinding. Approximately 1-2mg of the sample was lightly pressed on a glass slide to obtain a flatsurface.

Non-Ambient Conditions

Samples run under non-ambient conditions were mounted on a silicon waferwith heatconducting compound. The sample was then heated to theappropriate temperature at 10° C./min (unless otherwise stated) andsubsequently held isothermally for 1 minute before data collection wasinitiated.

Bruker AXS D8 Advance

X-Ray Powder Diffraction patterns were collected on a Bruker D8diffractometer using Cu Ka radiation (40 kV, 40 mA), θ-2θ goniometer,and divergence of V4 and receiving slits, a Ge monochromator and aLynxeye detector. The instrument is performance checked using acertified Corundum standard (NIST 1976). The software used for datacollection was Diffrac Plus XRD Commander v2.5.0 and the data wereanalysed and presented using Diffrac Plus EVA v11.0.0.2 or v13.0.0.2.Samples were run under ambient conditions as flat plate specimens usingpowder as received. The sample was gently packed into a cavity cut intopolished, zero-background (510) silicon wafer. The sample was rotated inits own plane during analysis. The details of the data collection are:

Rituximab (375 mg/m²) given intravenously (IV) on Day 1, Day 8, Day 15,and Day 22, then continued once every 4 weeks only on Days 1 duringcycles 2-6. Compound 1 started on Day 2 of cycle 1 at a dose of 420 mg(3×140-mg capsules) orally daily and will be continued daily.

Primary Outcome Measures: Progression free survival (PFS) [Time Frame: 3months]—progression free survival defined as the time interval fromtreatment to progressive disease or death, whichever happens earlier.Patients in complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR) or stabledisease (SD) are all counted as progression-free. Survival or times toprogression functions estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Secondary Outcome Measures: Toxicity [Time Frame: 3 months]—toxicityreported by type, frequency and severity. Worst toxicity grades perpatient tabulated for selected adverse events and laboratorymeasurements. Toxicity (grade 3 or 4) monitored based on the Bayesianmodel (beta-binomial) by assuming a priori probability of toxicityfollowing beta(1,1).

Eligibility: 18 Years and older; both genders are eligible.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients must have a diagnosis of high-riskCLL/SLL and be previously treated with up to 3 lines of prior therapy.High-risk CLL and high-risk SLL is defined by the presence of a 17pdeletion or 11q deletion or TP53 mutation. Any CLL and SLL patient whohas a short remission duration of less than 3 years after priorfirst-line chemo-immunotherapy, such as the FCR regimen, also fulfillscriteria of high-risk CLL/SLL, regardless of the presence or absence ofcytogenetic abnormalities. 2. CLL and SLL patients with 17p deletion orTP53 mutation will not be required to have received any prior therapy,given the poor outcome of CLL/SLL patients to standard frontlinechemo-immunotherapy, such patients will be eligible if they areuntreated or if they have received up to 3 lines of prior therapy. 3.Patients must have an indication for treatment by 2008 IWCLL Criteria.4. Patients age>18 years at the time of signing informed consent.Understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent. Be able to complywith study procedures and follow-up examinations. 5. ECOG/WHOperformance status of 0-1. 6. Patients of childbearing potential must bewilling to practice highly effective birth control (e.g., condoms,implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterinedevices [IUDs], sexual abstinence, or sterilized partner) during thestudy and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug. Women ofchildbearing potential include any female who has experienced menarcheand who has not undergone successful surgical sterilization(hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) oris not postmenopausal. Post menopause is defined as follows:Amenorrhea>/=12 consecutive months without another cause and adocumented serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level>35 mIU/mL; amale of childbearing potential is any male that has not been surgicallysterilized. 7. Adequate renal and hepatic function as indicated by allof the following: Total bilirubin</=1.5×institutional Upper Limit ofNormal (ULN) except for patients with bilirubin elevation due toGilbert's disease who will be allowed to participate; an ALT</=2.5×ULN;and an estimated creatinine clearance (CrCl) of >30 mL/min, ascalculated by the Cockroft-Gault equation unless disease related. 8.Free of prior malignancies for 3 years with exception of currentlytreated basal cell, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma insitu of the cervix or breast. 9. A urine pregnancy test (within 7 daysof Day 1) is required for women with childbearing potential

Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnant or breast-feeding females. 2. Treatmentincluding chemotherapy, chemo-immunotherapy, monoclonal antibodytherapy, radiotherapy, high-dose corticosteroid therapy (more than 60 mgPrednisone or equivalent daily), or immunotherapy within 21 days priorto enrollment or concurrent with this trial. 3. Investigational agentreceived within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug or havepreviously taken Compound 1. If received any investigational agent priorto this time point, drug-related toxicities must have recovered to Grade1 or less prior to first dose of study drug. 4. Systemic fungal,bacterial, viral, or other infection not controlled (defined asexhibiting ongoing signs/symptoms related to the infection and withoutimprovement, despite appropriate antibiotics or other treatment). 5.Patients with uncontrolled Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) orautoimmune thrombocytopenia (ITP). 6. Patients with severe hematopoieticinsufficiency, as defined by an absolute neutrophil count of less than500/micro-L and/or a platelet count of less than 30,000/micro-L at timeof screening for this protocol. 7. Any other severe concurrent disease,or have a history of serious organ dysfunction or disease involving theheart, kidney, liver or other organ system that may place the patient atundue risk to undergo therapy with Compound 1 and rituximab. 8.Significant cardiovascular disease such as uncontrolled or symptomaticarrhythmias, congestive heart failure, or myocardial infarction within 6months of screening, or any Class 3 or 4 cardiac disease as defined bythe New York Heart Association Functional Classification. 9. Significantscreening ECG abnormalities including left bundle branch block, 2nddegree AV block type II, 3rd degree block, bradycardia, and QTc>470msec. 10. Any serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality, orpsychiatric illness that places the subject at unacceptable risk ifhe/she were to participate in the study. 11. History of stroke orcerebral hemorrhage within 6 months. 12. Evidence of bleeding diathesisor coagulopathy. 13. Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, orsignificant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to Day 1, anticipationof need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study. 14.Minor surgical procedures, fine needle aspirations or core biopsieswithin 7 days prior to Day 1.
